Trader Joe’s Makes a Great Chocolatey Dessert!

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Filled Crepes Review

Trader Joe’s packaging says: No description given on the package!

These Trader Joe’s crepes were really really good. Frozen, til you can’t stand saving them any more, and must heat and eat. I definitely recommend using the oven rather than the microwave: Just 10 minutes, with a piece of tin foil thrown over the top.

They’re very eggy, and the chocolate tastes first rate. They’re filling, too. These are as good as any restaurant dessert.

In the photo on the box, the chocolate shavings on top look good, but how could they resist adding a dollop of real cream on these?  I would have done that, and then eaten them all, and too fast.

There are only 7 in the box. Just another Trader Joe’s oddity.

Was this delightful?

Yes. And I review their pancakes here, also pretty good.

Store (if I can remember): Trader Joe’s

Amazon carries over 1000 Trader Joe’s groceries now (!) but I didn’t see these crepes there.

What Others Say About Trader Joe’s Chocolate Filled Crepestrader joes crepe plated

What’s Good at Trader Joe’s said they’re different from real French crepes. These are thicker, not crispy, and folded wrong. But they got a 4 out of 5.

With a price point of $2.69 for seven crêpes, this is one of the more accessible international snacks from Trader Joe’s. (What does this sentence mean? – db)

Refinery 29 was just a PR blast, not a review, but had some  interesting comments:

Oh, Trader Joe’s, you stink. Another amazing item you’re going to get me hooked on… and then discontinue. And I will happily eat my fill of them, and then be annoyed when they are discontinued, cuz you ARE Trader Joe’s.

And…Since when are crepes hard to make? That’s kid-level cooking.
And this comment, from the School of Too Lazy to Read the Box:
Does this product have kosher certificstion
As it says on the box. Yes, it does.

What do you think? Will you be trying them out?
